AirAsia

Malaysian budget airline AirAsia on Wednesday abolished administrative fees on all its flights in a move to reduce fares and bolster sales amid the global slowdown. AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes said scrapping the fee creates further savings for passengers as they will now pay only the fare and airport tax. AirAsia removed fuel surcharges in November last year. The fee ranged from 22.5 ringgit (USD 6.40) to a maximum of around 43 ringgit per ticket and removing it will cost the airline 400 million ringgit (USD 113 million) a year. Jun 25, 2009
